day 224: trash to treasure

05.24.10 (posted 06.03.10) - what a difference some ambient lighting makes. i got this lamp for a steal. i paid $7 at the salvation army. one of the employees told me that they almost did not put it on the floor because of a crack on the back side of the base. 
as they say... one (wo)man's trash is another (wo)man's treasure.
